It's the end of summer.
Sad.
Luckily, I got to go to San Diego over Labor Day weekend and met up with my friend Jami and her new doggie, Maggie. Ain't she the cutest?
When it's summer, it's zucchini time. Kinda like Hammer Time but with a little less dancing.
My blogger friend Mary of Popsicles and Sandy Feet recently went to King Arthur Flour in Vermont. OMG. When she said she was going to KAF for a baking class, I thought she was kidding. Seriously, I thought KAF was like Oz. A place they mention in their catalog and on their packages, but not an actual place. Well, low and behold, Mary took a baking class with her mom! See her post about her yummy adventures.
After my cat Q-Tip passed away, I received a lovely card and gift package from Mary. She is so sweet. I shook the packet and it sounded like dried cat food! But inside were King Arthur Flour's Cinnamon Flav-R-Bites. These are too cool!
I added 1/3 cup of King Arthur Flour Cinnamon Flav-R-Bites. While they do indeed look like cat food pellets, they are tasty when they soften in a baked good. They are also dairy free! Whoo hoo. (The recipe is also dairy-free).
I found this recipe on Michelle's blog (One Ordinary Day) and Alicia's blog (Confessions of a Bakeaholic ) and it looked so delicious I had to give it a shot. One cup each: raw zucchini, mashed bananas and chopped pecans, along with 1/3 c of the King Arthur Cinnamon Flav-R-Bites.
Yeah. I know. It's a Bundt. Again.
And I have another one that isn't posted yet. I think I'll save that one to space them out a bit! :)
This was yummy. It isn't really rich like Dorie Greenspan's butter and sour cream filled Banana Bundt, but it is a yummy breakfast treat. The King Arthur Flav-R-Bites add a nice cinnamon touch.
Recipe: (three options)

When I saw that picture of the Flav-R-Bites, I thought it was kibble! LOL! I need to hunt them down because my husband would go nuts for them :)
I have a couple bundts I haven't posted about either.
Those flav-r bits do look like cat food. But I sure they taste much better! Your bundt looks so yummy. I love zucchini baked into cakes.

I'm loving the run of bundt cakes! Zucchini in cake is always a winner.
I'm going to Vermont in two weeks' time and I am SO excited to go to KAF!
Un très joli cake rempli de délicieuses saveurs:)xxx
I thought it was dog food too!! It sounds amazing though- cinnamon bites! yum!
I like that recipe..I wish we had King Arthur here..I'll have to look into those cinnamon bites:)
What a great way to use up bananas and zucchinis!
Beautiful dog.
You are, without a doubt, the Queen of Bundtland! I swear those bits look like cat food LOL! That bundt looks heavenly!
Yum zucchini and banana! Love the pics!
I JUST found out about these classes...Living in Massachusetts, I think I need to make the drive up to Oz.:)
oh wow! this really looks delicious! I saw the dog & saw the kibble-like bites and figured it was dog food! But I'm very excited it not because now I can make the recipe :)
haha
Happy Baking!

I love all of your bundt cakes!
I thought it was pet food too! Too funny. And the name - Flav-R-Bites reminds me of Pup-R-Ronis.
Great addition to the recipe, in any case. And thanks for linking back to my blog.

Another bundt or not, it looks delicious. The cinnamon things do look a little like kibble tho :)
That bundt cake looks great!
I really need to get a bundt pan so I can make beautiful things like this.
What a yummy cake! And how cool KA offers baking classes!
haha ok, i totally like many others thought you were putting dog food in it..haha. looks yummy! and those are so cool. Thanks for the link back! =)
Haha the cinnamon bites do look like cat/dog food but I bet they're delish! The bundt sounds great. Now that I've found I like zucchini in baked goods I'm going to try more. Will add your bundt to the list!
They totally do look like kibble! Mary is a rock star. I got a bag too. :) Thanks for the inspiration - I have a feeling these would be good in just about anything.
I thought it was dog food as well! I assumed you were making a cake for that gorgeous dog. :)
Awesome looking cake - zucchini makes great breads and cake.
Absolutely lovely! I heart all the ingredients in the cake!
You are a bundt cake inspiration! I am going to have to make one soon! Thanks for the great posts!
De-lish! Me and Banana-anything are like this (holding up two crossed fingers).
Cutest post ever.....I am so glad you could make a dairy free bundt...with my cinnamon cat food :)...
What a terrific looking cake! When our customers are looking for zucchini recipes, I'll definitely mention this one!
I got to meet Mary when she came here to KAF, she is a lovely lady, and her mom too.
Looks like you are next on the list for a visit to the magical land of King Arthur! Hope to see you someday.

Those flav-r-bites are very intriguing and definitely look like kibble haha. I don't know if I've ever seen banana and zucchini together in a cake but it sounds like a great idea!
Hi Mary,
Just in case you don't reader comments in your old posts (Classic Banana Bundt Cake).. I thought I'll drop you a comment here as well.. just in case.
I baked the cake yesterday and it was what we were looking for.. moist, light and cake like texture. Thank you for choosing the recipe.. I blogged about it and attributed my inspiration to try the recipe to you.
Thanks Mary. Have a nice weekend and happy baking!
Cute puppy and tasty cake! What more could you want?
This looks really good. You're right..the cinnamon flav-r-bites look just like cat food! I've never heard of these before but I need to look into it. I bet they would be great in a coffeecake.
I like all your bundt cake recipes. You should make yourself a bundt cake crown and declare yourselft queen!
Looks good! Keep the bundts coming!

This sounds delicious! And how cool are those little flav r bites!? I must look for these :D
Mary, I love your bundt cakes! There could never ever be too many! I think it's really pretty, and when it's sliced it's even more gorgeous. Love that you can see the flecks of zukes in there!
YUM. I'll have to get some of those flav-r-bites. I love San Diego. I lived there during grad school plus a few years.
Oh, you and your bundts... Do you think it'd work just as well with cinnamon chips instead of KAF's kibble?
Those flavor bites sound so cool!
Great photo of a gorgeous cake!
This cake looks amazing. What an interesting combination of flavors.
